Dixon Dance Studio Sells Out 12th Annual Recital Weekend

Dixon Dance Studio hosted their 12th annual dance recital at the Vacaville Cultural Center this weekend.

Lead by owners Staci Beene and Amy Forrest, alongside instructors Jeanne Jacobson and Allison Bleasdale, the studio host three shows this past weekend, even selling out Friday night.

The show, titled “Turn Up The Music”, featured about 200 dancers ages 3-19, performing jazz, tap, hip-hop, ballet, and contemporary styles.

“It’s hard to talk about the performance without bringing me to tears,” says Forrest, “the girls came to life like never before, it was the best show we have ever had.”

Parents and show attendees had rave reviews, celebrating the year of hard work and dedication of staff and students.

“Such talented students made for a fantastic show,” boasted mom and dance photographer, Rena Santa Cruz, whose daughter has been with Dixon Dance Studio for seven years.

Eight year-old Leanna Gietler was exciting to show off her skills at her first dance recital, after nearly a year of dance lessons. “She has grown so much, she can do things now she couldn’t do three months ago,” says Gietler’s mom, Melanie, “I danced with them [Dixon Dance Studio] when they first opened, the studio is awesome, I’m so proud.”

Beene credits parents for the businesses success. “Teaching dance and mentoring our students is extremely rewarding for Amy and I, especially during recital season,” she said, "Turn Up the Music" was an excellent way for our dancers to exhibit their professionalism, hard work and dedication throughout the year. We are amazed by the talent we have in Dixon and it's apparent from the outcome of this weekend, that many others feel the same way too. We are extremely humbled to have such a successful business with a supportive group of students and parents.”
